I ordered a new one of these because my first one was many years old and pretty beat up. I like them because they are much softer on my hips and very easy for switching weights. What you want to do, though, is to keep other people from dropping their weights on top of yours in the weight bucket. But in spite of that mine still lasted many years and over 100 dives. I recommend the 5 pocket one and I have a 33 inch waist.
Perfect for making battery belts

Does the neoprene weight belt come with weights?
DAVID H
No, it does not come with weights..
BRANDON G
NO, at least the one I bought did not, but it's a good weight belt, easy to use.
COLLEEN T
No the neoprene belt does not come with weights. There are pockets with velcro closures that you add your own weights into.
GWEN G
No. It is just a weight belt. Very comfortable, though!
NICOLE G
No it doesn't
STANLEY W
No
HEATHER G
No.

what is the total weight, and the weight for each pocket?
Charles J
5 lb max in any pocket in my opinion. Standard size weights fit fine. I get the 5 pocket version and balance the weight two on each side and leave the back pocket free for minor weight trimming. Once I have the proper weight I try to leave that back pocket free.
Steve S
The weight of the belt is about a pound, but being made of neoprene it is positively buoyant. 4-5 pounds per pocket works well.
GUY M
4 pound hard weight or soft.

how do you know what size to get and what are the sizes. i do not understand the number of pockets as being used for the size.? It is for my teenage daughter. jane

The 5 pocket neoprene velcro belt is 44 inches end to end on the fabric belt part. The pockets are 26 inches total but you have to allow for 3 inches extra for the buckle in addition to that. I would recommend no more that a 40 inch waist with wetsuit on and no less than 30inch waist.

The number of pockets determines how many weight pouches it can hold. If your daughter is small and takes less than 15 pounds of weight to dive she can get by with a four pocket belt. (That might hold up to 20 lbs of weights maximum 5 lbs per pocket) You also have to look at waist size to see it will go small enough for her with a wetsuit on. If you were a big person you might need up to 20 plus pounds to dive if you wore a 7 mil wetsuit and thus would need a five or six pocket belt.

I am an adult, L. I believe that model comes in one size only. It has seven pockets each of which can take up to two 2 lb weights.
If your daughter is very slim, this may not be able to fit her since the buckle can only be tightened to the first pocket on each end. As a result, you might have to look for a child's size if available. If she wears an "M" or larger I think it will fit. Good luck

We purchased the 4 pocket belt for our teenage daughter who is 5'7 at 100lbs. She uses 2x3lbs weights for fresh water and 3x3lbs weights for salt water.
Hope this helps.
